Best scene of the show

Having grown up watching his movies from when he was just a twentysomething actor in “how to succeed in business…”, the loved one, all the way up to smaller more indie roles in the early 2000’s as an older actor, this scene makes me so sad, just like saying goodbye to the actual actor. What a great gesture to and acknowledgment of his career and accomplishments. He was just a great actor and a true professional! ❤

Bert=Biden Don=Kamala

Every time I rewatch this show and hear Bert say “Don, my boy”, tears immediately start rolling down my face.

The creativity of this song is genius . Great series Mad Men

Still awesome!

Don's face at the end had me in tears. He finally realises what was important, it was not the work, it was the people he worked with, his family, his conscience. The best things in life are free

这世界有那么多人，这命运的晨昏常让我想想出神

The only true father figure Don ever had.

He should have sung Bye Bye Birdie instead

The best thing about this scene is it was totally unscripted

Long Live CHRIST The King

just watched this episode and cant stop crying🤧🤧

One of the best scenes in television history!

Anyone else appreciate the irony of an advertising executive singing “the best things in life are free”?

I think that maybe Don have heard that “Don, my boy” a million times; and now he hears the ethereal echo of Bert's voice. In that beautiful, beautiful musical, Mad Med accomplishes to resume what Burt meant to Don and what Don holds near to his heart once he's gone. What a beautiful show Mad Men was, every time I rewatch I grow fonder and fonder of it.

The irony here is that a lifelong ad man is telling Don that the best parts of life can’t be bought.

This came into my life at the perfect time, in the most cathartic fashion. I need to write it somewhere because I can't share it with my significant other as I don't want to spoil Mad Men for her. I just got to this episode an hour ago. I lost my cat recently to lymphoma. We had to put him down. He was an eccentric fellow as cats go, sort of like Bert. He was the elder stateman of our family - in fact, he's what made us a family. He was the first pet my significant other and I adopted. The first addition to our home. He filled our home with love, he chose us when we walked into the shelter and ignored the other prospective families. He'd been passed over for months as a timid black cat who was already turning 8. He lived 'til a few weeks before turning 15. He was ready to go - usually a bit afraid of the vet, he accepted the visit and just accepted our embrace the entire time as we made the hardest decision. This was 4 days ago. We worshipped and adored him, because we felt he built the foundation of our love. All he wanted was the simple things. Love, pets, food, and to comfort us. He had a lot of quirks and hated specific things/noises/etc. and would segregate himself if he was uncomfortable with the idiosyncratic noises of our home (he especially hated me cooking since the pans made noise when I'd pull them out). He'd retire to his "office" of choosing, whether that be our bedroom or under the bed or under the couch. All this to say he was an interesting little fellow who had a lot of personality, but had the same kind of aura as Bert where he could be stern and talkative about his preferences but in such a warm and vibrant manner with an air of whimsy. One of a kind. When Bert died in the episode, I drew a parallel as someone who is very deeply grieving. I've got a job like Don's where I put in tons of extra work, and a lot of it is hard "soft skill" type stuff like in the show. When Bert came down and performed this send off musical number, I was entranced. I was smiling with welling eyes like Don, because I was so touched at the beauty and signature Bert Cooper/Robert Morse moxie of this send-off. I felt like it was my own Bert Cooper, my beloved best feline friend AJ, telling me "So long, and thank you for all of the memories. I'll leave you the only way I know how - reassured and without regret. I'm gone, but my spirit will never leave." I'm so appreciative of this from a writing standpoint. It's masterclass. But... I'll never forget how this scene made me feel, and how I know what it means to me personally. I'll never forget this. I'm in awe. This scene did so much to heal a deep wound that still bleeds in my heart. Thank you, Mad Men. Thank you Robert Morse. Most of all, thank you AJ. I'll remember you every day that I live, mookie.

whoops I'm gonna rewatch Mad Men again

That artwork of the table and chairs from the top, just so beautiful. What good is having everything digitized and automated? A pity that human art forms that have evolved over millennia are slowly dying away.

3:11 he is the guy with the curly hair in the tv show "THE WALKING DEAD"

Almost shed a tear this episode omg rip

This scene touched me in so many ways..

Whenever I feel lonely I watch this. Beautiful.

"Whit genetic modifications, beauty is no longer a goal"

She used the Moon landing as a sales device. I'm not a Peggy fan.

3:47 The look of appreciation towards Don is beautiful. Real gratitude.

I remember Burger Chef. Fifteen cents. Not a bargain.

An Ayn Rand worshipping capitalist singing vigorously that the best things in life are free. Oh, the irony.

We had a Burger Chef in my town, it was on the other side of town by Letourneau College. We ate there only when we wentto the Gibson's Dept store there. I always got the Filet O'Fish Sandwhich. Along with Tony's H&T Sporting Goods, the Napa Auto Parts, the David Beard's Catfish Village ... they all closed. Weird tho cause that side of town never really went downhill, just that one street. Town DID grow up the big highway on the North side and the Southern Growth stopped at the Interstate there. Walmart finally put a HUGE store across the Interstate and it's now grown up over there some.

No matter how shallow it might seem, I also love that everything about her look is on point as well. Her hair is perfectly coiffed, the lipstick impeccable, the outfit sheer perfection. I enjoy watching it and I enjoy imagining Peggy's joy when she put it together and knew it was the ideal look both for the message she wanted to convey and the image of herself she wanted to create. (Plus Janie Bryant must have been over the moon to have come up with this look!)

Unless one has seen the miraculous astonishing performance in the "How to Succeed" film, it is not possible to understand the great talent Morse possessed. He was one of a kind. And what a terrific coincidence to play a character in a 60s Manhattan office building later in life. His life went full circle.

They ended Berts arc on MadMen perfectly. The last scene of him alive on the couch looking like a school boy with his eyes wide open watching the Moon landing and simply saying Bravo! And then the cherry on top was this magnificent scene here where Robert goes back to his song and dance roots and delivers pure magic for our viewing pleasure even at his age. MadMen, Breaking Bad, and Better Call Saul were some of the last holdouts of great shows from the golden age of television. We are now in the streaming age where most modern writers dont even have the capacity or talent to write a brilliant television script like MadMen.

Jon Hamm's Emotion Face is so GOOD. What a Great Actor !!!

Don my boy.................

I never watched the show. It came about at a point in my life when I just couldn't. But it made me smile when I heard they hired Robert Morse... They put Ponty in advertising! And to see this... This is even better. Thank you, Mad Men.

I am not sure I agree that this was a great sales pitch. Half of it had the television at the centre of it. The focus was not on Burger Chef. And if it was to be dinner out, why Burger Chef as against anywhere else?

Peggy was a professional hard working woman of her day. She did a great job surviving in a man's alpha Male work environment.

This scene made me cry man..

This is not a patch on the carousel pitch. Peggy is amazing and probably my favourite character, and this pitch is really really really good. But carousel was something else *entirely*

When I saw this in the episode, I was about 90% sure we were gonna find out Don was having a stroke

So much better than the ending ending.

Me dolió su muerte, y más verlo en la serie como poco a poco lo hacían a un lado. :"( Perfecta escena. <3

This was no Don Draper story.

From the moment I saw I thought what a beautiful tribute the show paid to such a legend!! RIP Robert Morse

It doesn't sound very compelling to me. Maybe because I'm not American, and I've never heard of Burger Chef. Isn't it a fictional brand created for the show? Is it a stand-in for a real brand that used to be famous? Some TV dinner brand. Anyway, what's the attraction? That each family member can eat their favorite meal and that creates harmony in the family? I don't understand that.

Did Peggy just transform into Don?

The best scene in the whole series! ❤️

For some reason, watching this helps me every time I hear someone has passed in my own life. R.I.P. Robert Morse, your performance in this send-off continues to be a pleasure.

Chokes me up everytime. A top of the list show forever.
